14 DAY TRIAL // We’ve entered day two of Valve’s ongoing Pyromania update of its Team Fortress 2 multiplayer shooter, with the company now unveiling an array of new weapons for classes like the Scout, the Sniper, the Soldier and, of course, the Pyro.
Team Fortress 2 has kept lots of players hooked on its online experience for quite some time thanks to its solid gameplay but also to Valve’s massive updates that brought new weapons, items, and much more to the game.
The next big update is Pyromania, which focuses, like its name suggests, on the Pyro class, and will culminate with the release of a special Meet the Pyro short film later today.
Until then, Valve has presented the next batch of things from the Pyromania update, including quite a few new weapons for classes like the Scout, the Sniper, the Soldier and the Pyro.
First up is the Scout, who can now wield two new weapons: the Pretty Boy’s Pocket Pistol, and the Baby Face Blaster scattergun, which both have some interesting stats. What’s more, the picture of the Scout also shows him with a brand new hat and a new accessory, in the form of a travel bag filled with money.
The Sniper is next, as he can now wield the Cleaner’s Carbine SMG and the Hitman’s Headtaker sniper rifle. New items can also be spotted, like a black hat and a pair of dark sunglasses.
The Soldier has received just one new item, the Beggar’s Bazooka, and also sports a new hat, in the form of a patched-up helmet.
Last but not least, there’s the Pyro, who can now wield a special Scorch Shot flaregun.
His image, according to Valve, is taken straight from the Meet the Pyro short film, so he’ll definitely make use of it in the video that will be released later today.
